Gregory Pratt Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Do you think Lidge will recover from the Pujols-Podsednik Syndrome he's suffering from? I don't know what to make of his fall from grace, myself. I hope he gets better soon, because he's lights out when he's on and it's impressive, but I wonder if he's been permanently broken.

Kalapse Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 He'll be fine the second he leaves Houston but I'm not so sure he can ever be dominant the way he was in the past if he stays with the Astros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'd LOVE Lidge in our pen, but I'm not sure of the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenks >>> Lidge Lidge was the BEST setup guy in baseball for a season before becomming the closer for the 'stros, he also rocked ass as the 7th inning man with Dotel after him and Wagner closing it out.

Kalapse Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 QUOTE(T R U @ May 20, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) Jenks is not better than Lidge I would have said that but I know there's not much of a chance of most people agreeing with it. Most Sox fans would take Jenks over the more proven Lidge. Brad throws 100 MPH with the best slider in baseball and has proven that he can be incredibly dominating, he's had a rough 2+ months but he's still one of the best in baseball.

I agree, since Jenks was on the superior team, he's obviously the superior talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I don't see Lidge becoming the next Mark Wohlers. Some closers are just streaky. Foulke went through more than a few horrible streaks with us at the turn of the century and went on to pitch two outstanding seasons in Oakland and Boston.

Milkman delivers Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'd take Lidge in our bullpen in a second. With him, I think our bullpen woes would be put to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Jenks has been lights out his last couple of outings. What I've liked about Bobby is that he's walked very few this season, which shows us that he has control. Only thing that I question about Bobby is the speed on his fastball. When the Sox were on ESPN, the announcers said that he was throwing 99mph, but in Tampa I saw the gun top at 95-96. Not quite sure if he has been in the high 90's or in the mid's.

On his good days he tops out around 99-100. On a bad day he only gets to 95-96. Either way he kicks ass and that hammer curve of his is f***ing awesome!
